Green Tea

Song Shixia said slowly: "I sympathize with your situation, but it's no use to go to Professor Ji for your situation. You have to go to the Women's Federation of the Street Office to handle it."

Why would you ask Professor Ji for help when you are being abused at home? As a university professor, he cannot handle such matters.

Li Mengxuan got off to a bad start. She never expected that Song Shixia, who seemed easy to talk to, didn't have any sympathy at all.

She couldn't utter a reason: "I..."

"If you have nothing else, remember to close the door for me."

Li Mengxuan gritted her teeth, stood up and was about to kneel down, but Song Shixia reacted quickly and dodged.

"What do you mean? I told you to go to the Women's Federation if you have any problems. What's the point of moral blackmailing me?"

She just couldn't understand why she didn't try to solve the problem of domestic violence, but instead thought about using her connections to transfer her job. Wasn't there something wrong with her brain?

Li Mengxuan cried with her delicate makeup all over her face: "Please, Comrade Song, I am really desperate. My father-in-law helped me find my job. If I get divorced, I will lose my job. I just want Professor Ji's family to say a word. Just one word from him can help me find a new job."

Song Shixia lost patience with her: "You should go cry to your leader. Professor Ji is just an ordinary university professor and has no control over your unit."

"Professor Ji's father will definitely be able to help. I just want him to say a few words. Please help. I'm willing to help you with anything in the future."

Song Shixia didn't want to argue with her, "You know it has nothing to do with Professor Ji, why are you looking for us? Go find someone who really has the say."

Li Mengxuan was about to cry, her face full of grievance as if Song Shixia was bullying her.

Song Shixia didn't understand why her expression suddenly changed, but when she heard footsteps approaching behind her, she immediately understood.

She turned around and asked, "Why did you come down?"

Ji Weiqing frowned slightly.

"I heard some noise downstairs and came down to see who it was."

Song Shixia smiled: "Li Mengxuan, Huo Kai's ex-wife." Professor Ji had met Li Mengxuan before, but it was not known whether he was pretending not to know her or had long forgotten about her.

Ji Weiqing was puzzled: "Do you know each other?"

Before Li Mengxuan could answer, Song Shixia answered, "I don't know her. She started crying as soon as she arrived. If you didn't know, you would think I was bullying her."

Huo Xuan kicked Song Shixia fiercely: "Even if you bully my mother, my mother will kneel down to you!"

Li Mengxuan was delighted that her daughter was so cooperative with her.

Professor Song Shixia Chongji held up his hands and said, "Look, a stranger came to my house just to kneel down before me. I am pretty powerful, right?"

Ji Weiqing said with a serious expression: "How did you let in someone you don't know? Is there no one on duty at the guard booth outside?"

Song Shixia was trying to hold back her laughter in her heart. Professor Ji was ruthless to people he didn't know. Trying to use the torture trick in front of him would have no effect at all.

Seeing that things were not going well, Li Mengxuan burst into tears and told her miserable experience.

Professor Ji remained calm after hearing this.

"You're in the wrong place. You should call the police."

Li Mengxuan couldn't accept such a result for a while. Huo Kai clearly said that Professor Ji was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, so she started from this point, but why was Fang Si not moved at all?

"Professor Ji, your father is a friend of our leader. If your father can help me out of my predicament with just one word, I can escape from this sea of ​​suffering. But you are unwilling to help me with just one word. Are you determined to watch me die?"

Song Shixia interrupted her: "This is not to watch someone die without helping. If it really comes to the point where someone is going to die, the police comrades will definitely bring the criminal to justice."

Li Mengxuan felt resentful when she saw that the couple was not willing to give in to her soft and hard tactics. Huo Xuan pointed at Song Shixia and started to curse at her.

"Bad women, you all bully my mother, you will not have a good death."

Aunt Feng pulled Chen Jiao into the house and just when she heard this, she was immediately furious.

"Why are you so vicious, little girl? Did your teachers at school teach you to swear?"

When Huo Xuan saw Aunt Feng and her stepmother, she quickly hid behind her biological mother. Chen Jiao was so angry that she gasped for breath and couldn't speak for several times. Aunt Feng quickly comforted her.

"Look, it turns out that my mother is here, you ungrateful bastard."

Li Mengxuan said coldly: "This is my own daughter, please be more polite in your words."

Aunt Feng sneered coldly, "Everyone knows that Mr. Huo from our school was divorced because his ex-wife despised him for being incompetent. If Chen Jiao hadn't married into our family, your daughter and son would still be scolded as motherless wild children in the village. Chen Jiao was very kind to your child, but she ended up raising an ungrateful person. Can't you scold an ungrateful person?"

"Huo Xuan is just being close to me. Is it wrong for a child to be close to his mother? How can you be considered an ungrateful person? If you guys hadn't been gossiping around the child all day, the child wouldn't have cried when he saw me."

Chen Jiao finally calmed down. She gave Song Shixia an apologetic look, then looked at Huo Xuan.

"Huo Xuan, is this how you told your own mother about me?"

She felt a little disappointed. Even though she knew that Huo Xuan was not close to her, he had at least taken care of her for two years. Even if he had no credit, he had worked hard. He had never let her go hungry or poorly clothed, but now he was blaming her for what she had done when he saw her own mother.

Huo Xuan didn't dare to say anything, but Li Mengxuan pulled her out.

"Huo Xuan, tell Mom everything she did to you. Mom will definitely take you away after the divorce."

As soon as these words were spoken, Song Shixia and Aunt Feng looked at Chen Jiao.

Chen Jiao stared at Huo Xuan without blinking: "Okay, while your mother is here, tell me what I did wrong to you."

Huo Xuan mustered up her courage under the gaze of her biological mother.

"You don't treat us as your own children at all. You're going to give birth to a younger brother when we graduate from elementary school, and then there will be no place for my brother and me in the house. You always criticize us harshly, even though my brother and I didn't mean to come home late. You always quarrel with dad, and it scares my brother and me so much that we can't sleep."

Huo Xuan talked about her stepmother's shortcomings, big and small, and to Chen Jiao, it was like a knife stabbing her in the heart.

Tears welled up in her eyes. "If your father disagrees with having a child, can I force him to have one? Why don't you blame your father for wanting a child? This is all my fault. You and Huo Li were bullied before and you didn't tell your family and even stole your father's money. After that, I went out to look for you like crazy every time you two came home late, fearing that you would be retaliated. Is this being mean to you? We only had a very fierce fight once, just that one time. I don't let you eat meat. When I get my salary, I buy sweet and sour pork loin from the cafeteria for you two. Huo Xuan, you are an ungrateful person."

She knew Huo Xuan disliked her, but she didn't expect that this child was so picky about her.

Li Mengxuan stood there awkwardly. Huo Xuan had the same personality as her. In her eyes, what Chen Jiao did was not bad for the child, not to mention that Huo Xuan always supported her in his heart.

She looked very guilty and said, "Chen Jiao, Huo Xuan is not sensible. Don't bother with the child. I will discuss with Huo Kai and let Huo Xuan stay with me. Huo Li is sensible, I believe you can take good care of him."

Chen Jiao gritted her teeth to hold back tears and said, "No need. If you like them, just take them all away. They are both your children anyway."

Li Mengxuan didn't want Huo Li. That kid was quiet and not close to her. He always stared at people with his black pupils. His personality was not as likable as Huo Xuan's. He was expected to be as dull and boring as Huo Kai when he grew up.

Huo Xuan wanted to go with her brother, but her mother only wanted her.

"Mom, I want my brother to go with me."

Li Mengxuan smiled and bent over to look at her daughter: "Your grandmother will not agree to let your brother go with mother. Your grandmother only likes her son."

Huo Xuan thought about how her grandmother was determined to leave her mother. During the Chinese New Year, her grandmother only gave her one cent as a New Year's gift, and told her to wait until she grew up and take her brother back.

Chen Jiao looked at the deep affection between the mother and daughter with cold eyes.

"Li Mengxuan, let's get down to business now. You asked Huo Kai to contact Professor Ji through me, but I refused and you brought Huo Xuan here. Don't you know that the guard booth here will verify your identity?"

Chen Jiao's words made Li Mengxuan panic.

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, I'm just calling your house to check your identity. Anyway, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door if you don't do anything wrong."

Li Mengxuan felt as if the world was spinning around her. Song Shixia almost couldn't help but applaud. Chen Jiao knew how to strike at the weakest part of the enemy's body.

Li Mengxuan looked to Song Shixia for help.

"Comrade Song, could you please help me hide the reason?"

Song Shixia smiled innocently: "Do you think I would be so magnanimous as to forgive someone who wants to frame me?"

Li Mengxuan played dumb: "I didn't frame you, I came here to ask for help, it's impossible for me to frame you!"

Aunt Feng said sarcastically, "Your daughter swears at people. You can't deny it. Huo Xuan said she wanted to be close to you. Maybe you taught her to swear. Chen Jiao has never sweared at a child."

Li Mengxuan was in a dilemma. If she had known today would be like this, she would have asked her cousin's wife Yu Fang for help. Although it would be a bit troublesome, it was better than the current situation.

Li Mengxuan endured the humiliation and bowed to apologize: "I'm sorry, Comrade Song, I have caused you trouble today. I will come to apologize another day."

"No need, please don't come. I don't want to have anything to do with you. Let's just be strangers from now on. And your daughter cursed someone, she should be the one to apologize."

Since Huo Xuan doesn't recognize Chen Jiao, she doesn't have to be nice to him.

Huo Xuan learned a lot of swear words from her grandmother in the village since she was a child. She learned all the swear words from her grandmother every time she stood at the door with her hands on her hips and cursed at people. She cursed people a lot at school, but she would pretend to be a good child at home and in front of adults.

Today, I finally couldn't bear it anymore when I saw my own mother being bullied. At this moment, asking her to apologize is more painful than beating her.

Huo Xuan didn't want to apologize. If it were her stepmother, she would definitely bend down and make amends for her first. The last time she broke someone else's cup, it was her stepmother who apologized and bought a new cup. It was obviously that classmate who wanted to show off that she broke it on purpose.

Li Mengxuan pinched her daughter and said, "Huo Xuan, hurry up and apologize to Aunt Song."

Huo Xuan burst into tears due to the pain.

"Aunt Song, I'm sorry." There was no sincerity in her tone, but rather a hint of unwillingness.

Song Shixia didn't even raise her head and poured a cup of green tea for Aunt Feng and Chen Jiao.

"You're crying too loudly. I can't hear you."

Huo Xuan cried and apologized, and the mother and daughter looked at the four people on the sofa.

After a long while, Song Shixia looked up in surprise.

"Oh, this pot of green tea is really delicious, and the color is so pretty. Why haven't you left after apologizing?"
